Dos Vistas

This modern masterpiece takes old-world detailing and tells a new story through a contemporary lens. Carved out of the coastal bluffs of the coveted community of Maravilla Los Cabos on the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the hacienda announces itself with a grand stone archway and courtyard fountain that establish a sense of arrival. Here, wooden accents and clay roofs juxtapose the expansive glazing systems to maximize the views and the architecture. Wooden overhanging beams, for example, work to direct one’s eye to the rugged landscape and panoramic ocean views, as the hacienda is nestled between mountains and sea. An interiors program of warm, modern furnishings and clean interior architectural lines—even the archways are smooth and precise—contemporize rustic details like natural stone surfaces. Massive framed-glass doors open completely to the outdoors from the spacious living room and kitchen, rendering the difference between indoor living and outdoor living completely irrelevant. Yet large expanses of terrace space and an infinity pool edging a cliff serve to connect the living spaces to the landscape further still. Indoor and outdoor dissolve, leaving only warmth, horizon, and the immersive ceremony of living well.
